Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Representation ID: 25088

Received: 09/07/2024

Respondent: Brightling Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We support the proposal to over-ride and not conform with the requirements of the Ministerial statement of 13/12/23. Furthermore, whether or not the Ministerial Statement is complied with, we suggest that building efficiency requirements are spelled out in planning conditions, and not rely on building regulations to enforce any efficiency requirements. Experience shows that enforcement through building regs alone is not always effective particularly in the case of alterations and extensions.
